I am completely stuck.

How does one get past the bombs? I am assuming one needs to light the fuse to destroy the bombs and get to the secret room?

I've cleared out the west side as far as I can tell.

That is exactly what you are going to have to do.
I'm afraid I can't tell you how to move on without knowing where exactly you are stuck. Some general guidelines though:

Arrrgh. That is exactly what I have tried to do. Moving diagonally and counting backwards. But I cannot see how this is mathematically possible to get to an open square where I could reach the NE corner. Even if I could get to 7.5 (above the med. health), I can't see how I can avoid a bomb. I can back my way into 6.3 or 6.4, but then what? Likewise for the other paths.

Standing on 6.4 your sword faces either west, southwest or southeast. None of those sword positions works on 7.5, which means two things:

If you are still stuck, just tell me where and I will help you with more specific instructions.

EDIT: Not sure what you mean by backing your way into 6.3. There's a bomb there.

nope, not getting it. I don't see how I can get him to turn his sword without hitting a bomb. I've gotten into the first patch of water in the southwest corner, and can turn there, but after that I don't see it being possible. I am getting blown to smithereens;(

and I'm hopelessly addicted to this game!

see the prob is that he requires 2 squares to move because of the sword, pretty well even sideways, before hitting a bomb. I really wish they'd had a slot drop here lol...anyways, I don't see how it's possible. And I realize it IS in fact done, but I don't know how:( Is a screen shot of positioning possible? My PM is on by the way

No screenshot, but here's a walkthrough - though it might be faulty, seeing as I just did it in my head while looking at the screenshot:

your instructions are perfect but the first bomb I encounter in the sw corner heading south from the entrance before I can hug the walls is my problem...from there I could probably do it, but I blow up every way I try my approach with the sword...*sigh*

oh my gosh, I just got it, I don't actually blow up crossing the sword over the bomb!!! cool!!! yay:)
